Hey friends! Little progress update coming your way. So I recently finished T25 and loved my results. I am still about 5 pounds away from my pre-baby weight, so it’s time to turn up the heat on my workouts.

Truthfully, I think my favorite part about T25 was how spoiled I was with getting such an awesome workout in 25 minutes that I really can’t imagine going back to the one hour workout. So, my husband and I decided to go with P90X3. P90X3 is Tony Horton’s newest workouts that promises the same unbelievable results in a portion of the time. I mean that’s nuts right? P90X3 isn’t a household name for no reason. Those results are ridiculous! I’m totally ready to step up my game and add the 5 minutes to my workout!
P90X3 is divided into 3 blocks. I’ve decided to do the Lean version of P90X3. The lean block is dedicated to busting fat through cardio intensity and weight work. I also will be adding some yoga, isometrix, and pilates into it. Although slow moving workouts aren’t my favorite they are a great way to increase flexibility and core strength.
During Block One I have found the workouts really easy to stick with. The schedule is great at varying the muscles worked each day, and it’s nice to know that after an intense workout the next day will be much slower (notice I didn’t say easier!)
Here’s what Block One Lean Looks Like:
Monday: Accelerator
Tuesday: Warrior (hello push-ups)
Wednesday: YogaX3
Thursday CVX (my soul mate X3 workout)
Friday: Isometrix
Saturday: Agility X

For my meal plans, I’ve been following Tony’s recommendation. The nutrition plan takes into consideration your current weight to establish how many portions of carbs, fats, and proteins you should get each day. So meal planning has been easy because Mike just eats larger portions than me! I keep it simple with lean proteins and complex carbs at each meal. Check out the clean eating recipes tab for some great ideas!
